One of our newest clients, Sycuan Resort, is about to unveil their 2011-2012 Gold Club Membership, centered around its award-winning golf course, just 24 miles from downtown San Diego. The $169 annual membership offers more than $850 dollars of complimentary services and discounts.

Memberships can be purchased by calling 888-548-8640, and are on sale now! If you want to try the course out before getting a membership, please mention Jacob Tyler at the pro-shop, you’ll receive 30% off of that day’s green fees and your cart. The Sycuan Gold Club membership includes 30% off green fees, a complimentary round of golf in Sycuan’s Pine Glen course, a complimentary round of golf in its Oak or Willow Glen course, buy-one-get-one-free golf instruction and rounds of golf, as well as three complimentary cart fees. In addition to the multitude of deep discounts at its award-winning golf course, Sycuan’s Gold Membership also offers certificates at its elegant 100-room hotel and spa, which just underwent a $2.7 million renovation, such as 15% off of hotel rack rates.

Gold members also enjoy perks at the Sycuan Café/Grill, adjacent to the bucolic golf course. The restaurant is now headed by award-winning Chef, Auggie Faucedo, formerly at the La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club, such as a two for one entrée purchase at the local farm-to-table eatery. You may have seen Auggie on the San Diego Insider cooking his famous Baja Rock Shrimp Risotto!

Also, they’re holding Golden Giveaways on their Facebook page where you can enter to WIN the grand prize: a 16 person private tournament in addition to free golf, lessons, meals, hotel accommodations and more!

A few Friday’s ago the entire Jacob Tyler team met at the top floor of Symphony Towers, at San Diego’s University Club for our annual agency retreat.

As we grow and evolve, we want to ensure our commitment to client service remains front and center. A client of ours, New Brain for Business led a rousing workshop focusing on how we can make sure the crux of what we do falls in line with this goal. We want you, our clients, to feel an unparalleled level of customer service, in addition to experiencing our pristine suite of creative and communications services, 100% of the time.

Some of you may remember the personality testing that was common in the workplace in the the 1970’s. Then, it was intended more for weeding out who employers might consider “problem employees.” Interestingly enough, in terms of accuracy and what perspective it can offer business owners, corporate personality testing is on a different plane today. Each employee took a personal evaluation, allowing us to see our agency’s unique personality prototype, based on the collective results. What a shocker- we had an overwhelming number of creative, left-handed, right-brained oriented professionals!

We each brainstormed in small groups and focused on what we want Jacob Tyler to be in the years to come. Each group agreed that customer service and client relationships are without a doubt, the most important objective. Armed with all of this information, we have returned to our work bonded as a team, and more committed than ever to make sure we make you happy.

And then… we went to happy hour

Command X At the AIGA national conference, young designers were picked throughout the USA to compete to be names best young designer in the country in the tradition of a reality gameshow.

They have super tight deadlines to produce designs and redesigns of products like the horribly designed Arizona Ice Tea cans and many others.

But I’m feeling like Jacob Tyler has been robbed… For I can say, without a doubt, that our young designers on our team could blow these guys out of the water – with their hands tied behind their backs!

I can’t wait to get back to work and see truly great work and thinking from our youngsters!

I don’t think I could have done it better myself. I’m feeling nostalgic for our Mad Men party and now I really hope they make season 6.
